Kuwait’s General Administration of Customs now requires all travelers entering or leaving Kuwait International Airport to declare gold, cash, and valuables exceeding 3,000 Kuwaiti Dinars (approximately $9,800). This law aims to combat smuggling, enhance customs transparency, and align with international standards. Travelers failing to declare may face confiscation and penalties. The updated policy covers cash exceeding the threshold, various valuables like gold and luxury items, and mandates carrying proper documentation for inspection. Non-compliance can lead to immediate seizures or legal actions. These measures seek to bolster border security, curb illegal financial activities, and streamline customs procedures for compliant travelers.
